Question: What is the most stirring battle cry you have ever heard or read from history!?
Answers:
I've read about this wall shattering battlecry in the Bible:
Joshua 6:5 ?And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram's horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him!.
Joshua 6:20 ?So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I am a big fan of this
St!. Crispen's Day Speech
William Shakespeare, 1599
What's he that wishes so!?
My cousin Westmoreland!? No, my fair cousin;
If we are mark'd to die, we are enow
To do our country loss; and if to live,
The fewer men, the greater share of honour!.
God's will! I pray thee, wish not one man more!.
By Jove, I am not covetous for gold,
Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost;
It yearns me not if men my garments wear;
Such outward things dwell not in my desires!.
But if it be a sin to covet honour,
I am the most offending soul alive!.
No, faith, my coz, wish not a man from England!.
God's peace! I would not lose so great an honour
As one man more methinks would share from me
For the best hope I have!. O, do not wish one more!
Rather proclaim it, Westmoreland, through my host,
That he which hath no stomach to this fight,
Let him depart; his passport shall be made,
And crowns for convoy put into his purse;
We would not die in that man's company
That fears his fellowship to die with us!.
This day is call'd the feast of Crispian!.
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when this day is nam'd,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian!.
He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say 'To-morrow is Saint Crispian!.'
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars,
And say 'These wounds I had on Crispian's day!.'
Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,
But he'll remember, with advantages,
What feats he did that day!. Then shall our names,
Familiar in his mouth as household words-
Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester-
Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb'red!.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
